Finishing up my annual shop cleanup and purge, and I’m inspired by Chris Wong to just give away superfluous items. One item I’ll never use again, given that I have another jig, and rarely use it at that, opting to handcut 95% of the time, is this Rockler dovetail jig. It’s a great starter jig. (Note: the folding rule is just for scale)

I’ve long since lost the user guide, and any accessories it might have come with, but I’m sure these are still available from Rockler (if there are any).

If you’re interested, leave a comment and a winner will be chosen at random from interested parties. The winner can either pick it up, or will need to pay shipping from MA. (not a bad deal for a free jig!)

COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. IF YOU ARE THE WINNER SELECTED AT RANDOM USING RANDOM.ORG, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED SHORTLY.

STAY TUNED FOR SOME MORE FREE STUFF!

About Nick

Nick Roulleau is founder, craftsman, designer, joiner, finisher, floor-sweep and all of the other roles at Mansfield Fine Furniture. A woodworker for more than a decade, Nick started the company with the goal of filling the need for heirloom-quality furniture hand-made from premium woods. Every piece is designed to suit the customer's needs and desires, hand-picking each piece of wood, and built one piece at a time, using both modern and centuries-old traditional methods to yield furniture to last for generations.

I have tried hand cut dovetails. Mine always have gaps. I cannot figure out where they bind and always take away from the wrong pins (or is it tails?) to make it all fit together. If this can fix that, I am sold. I need to build a hope chest for an upcoming wedding. Dovetails will look much better than dowels.

I have this item on my amazon wish list, incidentally.. I am definitely not a hand tool kind of woodworker. 🙂

Oooh, my partner’s been eyeing one of these for a while. I like my odds here!

This is a great idea to give unused tools a new home….. Been wanting one of these.

Please throw my name into the hat for this, I’m in Canada, but I’ll gladly pay the postage! Thanks!

Tom Erickson

Thank you.

I would love to use that unit. I’m going to be doing our kitchen and i’m building a bed with drawers for myself and my wife (married less then a year, july 22,2011) . I have always wanted to do dovetails but can afford the tools to get the hang of doing it and how they look. I know that doing dovetails on drawers would be best but as were just married and i was on reduced hours (back to normal now) since the earthquake in Japan. I have been trying everything to save money and to try to make my new wife like the 140+ old house even more. I would be able to put that unit to great use, and many many more units
